Incompatible library version: nokogiri.bundle requ

In an attempt to get mysql installed on my mac for a rails project I followed an online suggestion of installing homebrew and removing mac ports. This is where the problems began. The rails project won't build, I am getting this:

[rake --prereqs] rake aborted!

dlopen(/Users/Parker/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/nokogiri-1.6.0/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.bundle, 9):

Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib

Referenced from: /Users/Parker/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/gems/nokogiri-1.6.0/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.bundle

Reason: Incompatible library version: nokogiri.bundle requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0

I've tried the suggest of running

brew install libiconv

to which I receive the message:

Error: No available formula for libiconv Apple distributes libiconv with OS X, you can find it in /usr/lib. Some build scripts fail to detect it correctly, please check existing formulae for solutions.

I've also tried

gem install nokogiri -- --with-xslt-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libxslt/1.1.28 --with-xml2-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.9.1

to which I receive:

I have worked to resolve this issue for well over 8 hours. I have tried every link and every suggest google supplies me with. I am completely stumped. It seems to me I'm in over my head and have caused some environment issues. I realize more information is probably needed, but I don't know what to supply. Please let me know what other information would help diagnose the problem.

I finally found a combination of suggestions that resolved my issue:

brew tap homebrew/dupes

then:

brew install libiconv

brew link --force libiconv

Apparently 'brew tap homebrew/dupes' allowed me to use the 'brew install libiconv' without an error, and from there the 'brew link --force libiconv' remedied the issue.
